A group of peacocks, like those in this linocut, are called 'an ostentation', for obvious reasons. I am making a series on the weird and wonderful terms of venery - the collective nouns for groups of animals (and other things). Some are evocative, some strange and obscure. This is the fourth in a series of such prints.

The word 'Ostentation' is in a rather rococo and ostentatious typeface.
